Code inspection leads me to LYUtils.c, routine is_url(), which calls LYCheckForProxyURL() only if the URL type is not known. HTTP, of course, is known--thus it quietly ignores the proxy environment variable config.
If another dev has a proxy server ready to go, an interesting experiment would be to move the proxy test to be done first in is_url(). But don't be surprised if what you find is that this bug needs to be renamed "HTTP proxy is broken". I'll try and set up a proxy server RSN if nobody else is jumping on this.
